If you know what you're doing as far as writing your own webdna code, there is no reason whatsoever to refrain from using the built-in users.db to do whatever you want with it, as long as you do not change the default field names.You can add new fields and store anything you want in it -- it's just a database to webcatalog. I have often added fields like name, address, city, state, zip, phone, fax, etc., so I can store more than just usernames and passwords and groups in it. ================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499 http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
